Networking my laptop with XBMC...

  • i'm trying to add a network share so that xbmc can access my work laptop but it has a domain rather than a workgroup like my pc. how do i handle this?

    thanks in advance.


  • this (http://manual.xboxmediacenter.de/wakka.php?wakka=networktypesbookmarksetupv2&v=f2z) is from the online manual.

    hope it helps.

    cheers b4tm4n.


  • actually that manual entry is abit wrong..

    if the user you wish to authenticate with is part of the domain.. you need to specify the username as domain\username, that is how windows expect it. if not it's not sure if the local username database on your computer is used or the domain one.

    smb://domain\password@hostname/share/path

    if you have multiple host with the same netbios hostname in the same network, you may have to specify workgroup (same as the netbios domain name in your case)
    smb://workgroup;domain\password@hostname/share/path
